How Meditation May Change the Brain
this is my news. it's about meditation. my response is going to be long, but guys, it's really good to read. I am not sure though. sometimes i may write something which has nothing to do with article but please dont blame me. i'm going to write very short summary and then write my response.
I thought meditation was far from science. But finally a research showed that it makes the part of the brain active. The part is connected to learning and memory. Besides, meditation also makes another part of brain less active. The part is connected to anxiety and stress. It is like killing two birds with one stone. I should have realized the fact much earlier. Anyway, I have to practice this as soon as possible. According to the definition of Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary, the word “meditate” is “to think deeply, usually in silence, especially for religious reasons or in order to make your mind calm.” Think deeply in silence. It seemed easy so I tried to practice it. However, I found out two problems. The one is that I have no idea what to think about? I’m not particular about anything. I found it difficult to think about deeply. From now on, I’ll try to think about things very deeply so that I can understand not only their obvious meanings but also their hidden profound meanings. The other problem is that I can’t stand longer in the state of silence. I’ve finally realized I am too antsy. To stay in silence is much harder than to keep on moving. I tried to stop every part of my body, but the more time went, the more irritated I felt. To change my brain better, I have to get used to it. This topic that I am going to talk about has less to do with the article but I am getting enchanted with the stillness. I observed people in the class, I found out some of them never moved while listening to the lecture. I was surprised at all. How could they be immobile? It’s a big discovery. If they can remain still in the whole class, they must be able to put up with any kind of stress. This is my mere guess, but if it is so, I have to make it a rule to meditate. Anyway, now I have two things to be able to do. The one is to think about something deeply. The other is to remain still. It is going to be tough.
guys, u should try meditation. See you.
